URGENT: See our important note about compatibility with Rokuhan controllers below! No issue when using Marklin controller!

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 03.10 (03 1012) express steam locomotive with a high-performance new design boiler. The locomotive looks as did in Era III around 1961. Conversion unit with the streamlining removed and including Witte smoke deflectors. Pilot wheels done with spoked wheels.

Highlights
* Spoked wheels for pilot truck.
* Locomotive frame and body constructed of metal.
* Finely detailed valve gear and rods.
* Brake rigging, inductive magnet, rail clearance devices, etc. modelled.
* Motor with a bell-shaped armature.
* Window inserts on the cab.

The brake imitations, inductive magnet, rail clearance devices, etc. On the underside of the locomotive are modelled, and there are free-standing headlights. The pilot truck is equipped with spoked wheels. The valve gear and rods are finely detailed. The locomotive has a motor with a bell-shaped armature. All 3 coupled axles powered. The headlights are warm white LEDs and change over to the tender with the change in direction. The tender has spoked wheels. Length over the buffers approximately 110 mm / 4-5/16". The minimum radius for operation is 195 mm / 7-5/8".

COMPATIBLITY NOTE WITH ROKUHAN CONTROLLERS: Rokuhan controllers cannot work with this specific locomotive due to the added current requirements in the tender. No returns for this issue as it is clearly spelled out in our listings. This locomotive runs very smooth with a Marklin power pack.
